Jack Dorsey Funds Nostr

2022-12-15Protocol & Technical

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey donates 14 BTC (approximately $245,000) to fiatjaf, the pseudonymous creator of Nostr, a decentralized social media protocol. Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) uses cryptographic keypairs instead of centralized accounts, making censorship nearly impossible. Bitcoiners flock to the protocol as a Twitter alternative, and Dorsey's funding accelerates development of clients like Damus and Primal. Nostr becomes the social layer Bitcoiners always wanted.
